I'll be teaching a week long residential course at the Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre in Wales with Hollie McNish. A course designed to focus on enjoying your writing, and relishing reading your work aloud, we will also be joined for a guest reading by the wonderful Luke Wright. This will be a great week spent well and in fine surroundings.

I'm well pleased to be a part of this line-up for a one-off Days of Roses event at the Star of Kings in Kings Cross, also featuring readings by Malene Engelund, André Naffis-Sahely, Declan Ryan, Robert Selby, Ralf Webb and Anna Whitwham. Music from Ruby Silk.

Very much looking forward to being part of the Caught by the River stage at this year's Port Eliot Festival, we have some wonderful poets with us as well - Mona Arshi, Zaffar Kunial, Hollie McNish and of course Martha Sprackland.

I'll be reading every morning as part of the morning poetry sessions, alongside Martha Sprackland, on the CBTR stage at this brilliant festival curated by Pedlars and Cerys Matthews, and which was great last year.

I'll be reading some poems at a very special Caught by the River Social Club event in Bristol on Friday 2nd October. The line-up, as always when Richard King and Jeff get their heads together, is incredible and it will be taking place in the artist Nick Hand's print studio, so this really should be one not to miss.

I'll be reading poems, and talking with Jeb again about songwriting and storytelling as well as hopefully signing some books at the Good Life Festival, held at the Hawardene Estate on the 18th, 19th and 20th of September. There will be a Caught by the River shop and the line-up already looks great...

This August the good people at Caught by the River are hosting a week long festival of events, readings, workshops, music, art - everything the site is about, but in person, basically. The venue is the wonderful-looking Fforest, and the whole thing looks great... it can't really fail to be, can it?

I'll be running a workshop on writing about landscape during one of the days, and will also be in conversation with a real hero of mine, Jeb Loy Nichols, talking about writing, songs, poems, art and country music.

I'll be reading some poems as part of this new series of events at St Barnabas Church in Soho, celebrating independent record labels. This event in the series is curated by the wonderful Heavenly Recordings, and I'm honoured to be a part of it.

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I'll be reading some poems at the launch event for the Vine Collective, a brand new venture aiming to promote good food and wine through a love of music, literature and culinary culture. The line-up is as good as it is diverse, with poet and comedian Rob Auton, 'Hackney Marshman’ Gareth Rees, writer and broadcaster Michael Smith (Giro Playboy/Unreal City/ Culture Show), a rare live set from Jesus Licks and a DJ set from Chrome Hoof.

There will also be a range of wine available and expert advice from The Vine Collective's resident expert Darren Smith.

I'll be reading at the spoken word event for this new festival celebrating the cultural life of Portobello Rd. Jock Scott, Murray Lachlan Scott and Ray 'Roughler' Jones are all reading as well. Should be a good one...
